The difficulty in obtaining as well as maintaining weight loss, together with the impairment of
metabolic control in conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, may represent …

Peripheral neuropathy, which can include axonal degeneration and/or demyelination,
impacts adipose tissues with obesity, diabetes, and aging. However, the presence of …

White adipose tissue (WAT) is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and its
activation is necessary for lipolysis. WAT parasympathetic innervation is not supported. Fully …

Brown and white adipose tissues are essential for maintenance of proper energy balance
and metabolic health. In order to function efficiently, these tissues require both endocrine …

Homeostatic regulation of adipose tissue is critical for the maintenance of energy balance
and whole-body metabolism. The peripheral nervous system provides bidirectional neural …

Neuroendocrine research has altered the traditional perspective of white adipose tissue
(WAT) as a passive store of triglycerides. In addition to fatty acids, WAT produces many …

Adipose tissue comprises adipocytes and many other cell types that engage in dynamic
crosstalk in a highly innervated and vascularized tissue matrix. Although adipose tissue has …

Brown and white adipose tissue have recently gained prominence as key players in obesity
and related health problems, such as type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Brown …

During our study of the reversal of seasonal obesity in Siberian hamsters, we found an
interaction between receptors for the pineal hormone melatonin and the sympathetic …

Innervation by autonomic nerves modulates glucose and fat metabolism in adipose tissue. It
is very tempting to speculate on the effects of shifts in the balance between sympathetic and …
